About Me

I'm a former graphic artist back to doing fine art. One of my paintings was featured in the Competition Spotlight in The Artist's Magazine (June, 2009) and my work is currently featured in a full-length article in Watercolor Artist magazine (August, 2009). Watercolor is my first love and my main focus. Although I paint a variety of subjects, color and pattern are the main things that drive my artistic interests.

thanks Chris, beautiful work, particularly like the cacti and the tomatoe/S&P shakers!

WR Jones - 9/21/2008 2:13:00 PM

Chris, these are some great paintings but I think it is time to move on to adult toys like big boats, fast cars, time shares, big screen TVs, and a house you can''t afford.

jave - 9/21/2008 8:27:00 PM

Thanks Chris. Like these acrylic toys.

Fawn McNeill - 9/22/2008 2:45:00 AM

Hard to believe this is watercolor! WOW!

Barry Pullis - 9/24/2008 1:55:00 PM

Hey Chris, Wonderful style and I enjoy the strength of your color usage. Wow, the paintings are vibrant and a joy to look at!

Connie McClure - 9/29/2008 3:42:00 PM

You have captured the "shine" in your birds perfectly! My favourite is the Old Plow....the clarity of it - the composition - and the beautiful rusted colors....was that poured? Bravo!

Carol McArdle - 10/1/2008 9:37:00 PM

Thank you Chris, Your watercolor is excellent, great colors. I especially like the humor you incorporate into your work.

Pat Burns - 10/2/2008 12:43:00 AM

Cool duck:) Love you style!

Larry Brooks - 10/8/2008 7:52:00 PM

Hi again, Chris-- Thanks for the ''shout-out'' about me on your blog. I cam across it accidentally while showing my wife how to google oneself (pardon the expression) and I noticed it. So that was very nice of you.

Wendy Palmer - 10/8/2008 9:05:00 PM

Thanks Chris for your comments on my artwork, I love your Quackeroonies!!!! Great Vibrant Colors. Have Fun!!!!

K Joann Russell - 10/9/2008 11:14:00 PM

The vivid colors you achieve with watercolors are awesome. I love your colorful critters, especially the quackeroonies!

Lavinia Young - 10/21/2008 5:52:00 AM

Chris I really like your ''dreamscape:mojave'' I think I am going through an orange phase at the moment.

Thank you for the comment. I love your work too. And I also do graphic art. Something about graphic artists getting precision, color and balnace. You are my kind of watercolorist.

Manon - 12/9/2008 3:11:00 PM

All of your work is great but the abstracts are terrific.

It''s wonderful how you manage both the realism and the abstract.
